I have created a video called “A Virtual Author Visit with Lynda Henney”. Please
feel free to share this with your children! I explain how I made my animals and
how I write my stories. I also take the animals to the water for a little
adventure!



Check out my “Story Videos” page. I have recorded myself reading “Beaver to the
Rescue”. You will also find videos of Gwenaelle Oger-Black, the French
Coordinator for the Delta School District, reading Foxy and Friends books in
French!



I don’t sell the animals, but you can order them from Vernon Teach and Learn.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND DOING:

Look at the fabulous wooden peg characters 2 StrongStart educators in Burnaby
have created for the Kindergarten teachers! What a great idea!

Katie Keier, co-author of “Catching Readers Before they Fall”, wrote to me: “I
especially love “Nature Art” – it is just perfect for our study of Goldsworthy
and connects to so much of what we do. I’m excited to be sharing Foxy and
Friends with another group of kindergarteners, who I know will love them as much
as I do.” Thanks Katie!

The grade 2 students in Erika Momeyer’s classroom have been reading Foxy and
Friends Books! Look at the great little video they made after Reading, Playing,
Talking and Writing their own Foxy story! Foxy Gets a Goose Egg





Watch the little movie Renardo c’est le hero ! made by Jamin! He was inspired by
reading Foxy and Friends Books in his Kindergarten class in SD#61. Thanks for
sharing Jamin! Jamin’s mom, Lisa Shapiro wrote to me: “The experience of
watching Jamin put his story together was incredible. The characters, the
setting, the story, and the vocabulary all came easily to him because of your
books. We were so excited to put it together and see that he could be an author
too! Your work is a real inspiration to children and their teachers!” Thank you
Lisa!



Thank you to Amelia Hutchinson and her administration for giving permission to
access her wonderful blog. Amelia is continuing her work with Story Workshop
with her students using a video of herself reading “Foxy and his friends find
Forest Animals”. You can watch her video on my Story Videos page.

Rebecca Bathurst-Hunt, co-author of the fabulous book, Inquiry Mindset, wrote
about Foxy and Friends on her blog: “THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION for a
series of books for Story Workshop in Kindergarten, especially if you are just
starting out. It is a beautiful set of stories that build on each other, with
the same characters throughout. The set is wonderful and is available in English
and FRENCH (at a GREAT level for Kinder). I cannot say enough about this set.”

Thank you to Kelli Mazurak from Vernon who shared a photo of what her students
made. “…our Foxy and Friends forest habitat. The kids absolutely loved doing it
and they each created their own story. So fun!”

Kelli’s students made a Foxy and Friends forest habitat!

Look at how Lisa Scherr and her colleagues in Prince Rupert used the process
with Foxy and Friends Books!(Click here for more information Read Play Talk

I am so honoured to have received a card from Regie Routman! She wrote: “Thank
you for your lovely books! As a former Reading Recovery teacher, I especially
appreciate how terrific these are for young readers. The language you use, the
content, layout, colors, and illustrations/photos are so appealing. I also like
your sight words and vocabulary page at the end– very useful. Congratulations on
your great books. Foxy and Friends Books are a delight!”

Katie Keier, co-author of “Catching Readers Before they Fall”, wrote to me about
Foxy and Friends Books.  She said:  “I shared them with my team and kids and
they were met with overwhelming excitement. We all really like them. The text
and spacing is perfect for our young readers and I love the way you made the
characters. The art is beautiful.  We are going to put these at the top of our
order list for our book room.” Thank you Katie for ordering all the books!

Thank you to Adrienne Gear for sharing my books on her Facebook page! Check it

“Early primary teachers! If you are looking for some great new levelled books
for your guided reading groups – retired Literacy Consultant Lynda Henney from
Vernon, B.C. has created an amazing set of books called “Foxy and Friends –
Little books for growing minds”. –Adrienne Gear

Stephanie Yorath at Crofton House in Vancouver wrote:
“Thank you for the books. I have been using them for so many different things –
my students love them. I read a different book today with a group of students
and they said “We only want to read Foxy books”. One student added “I love it
when the characters are the same and I know them”.
To practice storytelling I read all the books in groups and as a class and then
the students chose one book to retell the story.  They set up the scene with
loose parts and pictures of the characters and recorded themselves retelling the
story. Now they are going to write their own Foxy stories.”

Thanks to Carrie Bourne, French Teacher Consultant in Richmond, for these great
photos of French Immersion students enjoying Foxy and Friends Books. You can

Look at the fabulous provocation Lisa Wilson, Donna Kozak, and Nicole Crane have
put together for the teachers of School District 23 (Central Okanagan)! They
have purchased all the characters from Foxy and Friends books and added items
from the stories such as starfish, trees, crabs, etc. I had the opportunity to
see this provocation set up in Jackie Fierbach‘s Learning Assistance classroom
at Hudson Road Elementary. Her students had written their own Foxy adventure and
produced a little book called “Baby Bear is Lost” using photographs of the
animals in the provocation. What a wonderful example of the Read Play Talk Write
process! (Click here for more information Read Play Talk Write )



POPEI (Provincial Outreach Program for Early Intervention) recommends Foxy and
Friends Books! Thank you to Sasha Žekulin and Lisa Watson! Check out their blog

“Foxy and Friends Books are delightful stories and nonfiction with wonderful
(Canadian!) illustrations.” –Lori Jamison Rog

“With Foxy and Friends, Lynda is creating a collection of books that capture our
early readers. The books are set outside, in various natural BC settings – on
the beach with the ocean and mountains as a backdrop, in the undergrowth of the
forest, beside a stream….  These are ‘must haves’ for primary classrooms and
‘must reads’ (again and again) for early readers.  They are an ideal springboard
for rich conversations and personal writing.”  –Faye Brownlie

“Very Reggio Emilia, Lynda!”  –Dr. Leyton Schnellert

“My students can’t wait to read the next Foxy book!  They brought their own
little animals from home and we made photo books.”  –Allison Jmayoff  (teacher
in Vernon, BC)
